Baking Soda and Shaving Soap

[jenmarie82]

Has anyone ever heard of adding baking soda to soap bars? I just saw a bar on the web that had it in it..it was called "skin soother". Would this actually be a good idea? Could you add it to MP?

And as far as shaving soap goes....do you have to add any type of clay to it to further protect the skin? And what is shaving soap made of?

I'll have to look up the recipe for you but Marie Browning's "300 handcrafted soaps" or whatever it is (all MP soaps) has a recipe for shaving soap (several of them)..
If you do MP and want the recipe I'd be happy to get it for you..
